SHOT-VAE: Semi-supervised Deep Generative Models With Label-aware ELBO Approximations

Here is the official implementation of the model SHOT-VAE in paper "SHOT-VAE: Semi-supervised Deep Generative Models With Label-aware ELBO Approximations".

Model Review

The schematic of SHOT-VAE. SHOT-VAE has great advantages in interpretability by capturing semantics-disentangled latent variables as $\mathbf{z}$ represents the image style and $\mathbf{y}$ represents the image class. The smooth-ELBO proposes a more flexible assumption of $$\hat{p}(\mathbf{y}\vert\mathbf{X})$$ with label-smoothing technique. The optimal interpolation performs data augmentation on the input pairs with the most similar continuous representations. The above two components break the ELBO bottleneck.

Setup

Install Package Dependencies

Python Environment: >= 3.6
torch = 1.2.0
torchvision = 0.4.0
scikit-learn >= 0.2
tensorbard >= 2.0.0

Install Datasets

We need users to declare a base path to store the dataset as well as the log of training procedure. The directory structure should be

base_path
│       
└───dataset
│   │   cifar
│       │   cifar-10-batches-py
│       │   |	...
│       │   cifar-100-python
│       │   |	...
│   │   svhn
│       │   ...
│   │   mnist
│       │   ...
└───trained_model_1
│   │	parmater
│   │	runs
└───trained_model_2
│   │	parmater
│   │	runs
...
└───trained_model_n
│   │	parmater
│   │	runs

We refer users to use the following functions in torchvision to install datasets

from os import path
import torch
import torchvision
# set base_path
base_path = "./"
# install mnist,svhn,cifar10,cifar100
torchvision.datasets.MNIST(path.join(base_path,"dataset","mnist"),download=True)
torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(path.join(base_path,"dataset","cifar"),download=True)
torchvision.datasets.CIFAR100(path.join(base_path,"dataset","cifar"),download=True)
torchvision.datasets.SVHN(path.join(base_path,"dataset","cifar"),download=True)

Or you can manually put the dataset in the appropriate folder.

Running

Notice that we have implemented 3 categories of backbones: WideResNet, PreActResNet and Densenet. Here we give the example for WideResNet. To use other network backbone, please change --net-name parameter (e.g. --net-name preactresnet18).

For CUDA computation, please set the --gpu parameter (e.g. --gpu "0,1" means to use gpu0 and gpu1 together to do calculation).

Semi-supervised Learning

Here we list several important parameters need to be set manually in the following table

Parameter	Means
br	If we use BCE loss in $E_{p,q}\log p(X\vert z,y)$, default is False.

ad	The milestone list for adjust learning rate.
epochs	The total epochs in training process
